Earlier this week, shop manager Shannon Wallhead said: “We can’t wait to welcome both Greggs fans and new customers to our brand-new shop and drive-thru. We’ve got an amazing range of tasty bakes, hot drinks, sweet treats and savouries available for takeaway.”

And it seems that customers are equally excited about being able to pick up their favourite baked treats.

They have been taking to social media to show their excitement for the new drive-thru store near Meadowhall – and tagging their friends to let them know about the exciting new addition to the retail park.

One customer, Jesse Abbott, wrote: “Dreams can come true….” while another added: “Heaven?”

Another customer, Taylor Green, seemed happy not to have to drive too far to enjoy a snack from Greggs, commenting: “Finally one near me”, with Ryan Hawley adding: “PRAYERS = ANSWERED”.

The drive-thru option has also been hailed a ‘game changer’.

But not everyone has been overly impressed by the idea.

One customer, David Shepherd, said he would not be visiting ‘because all their food is ice cold when you get it’, while Mark Shea wrote: “So wrong in so many ways”.

Joseph D’Roza added: “What's wrong with pulling into a Gregss, walking into the place and getting what you want?

“Are we becoming that lazy we need a drive through?”
